drops

Can you feel it? Oh, I can, and I am so happy. Happy to have the crisp air. The extra blankets on beds. The pumpkins at the markets. The treasures from nature.I found these little gumdrops placed on a table by one of my children. Definitely not Charlie. Maybe Andrew. Probably Libby. Those made me happy too.

And recipes that call for apples. Or pumpkin. Cinnamon. Spice. I want to bake it all.I opted for pumpkin cookies for our cookie of the week. Made yesterday. With five left today. Just five. The ones with nuts. The ones I like. I promised everyone I would make more today. They were that good.

I can feel it too, and I love it just as much!Oh, I wish I had time for baking! Denmark's got the largest apple harvest for years, so I really should. I'll take time this weekend. Have a nice day and thanks for such a nice blog post making me appreciate this time of year even more!- Birgitte :)

What perfect timing, I just opened a can of pumpkin yesterday but only needed a tbsp, so I was going to look for a recipe today for cookies or muffins to use up the rest of the can :-) I will certainly give these a try.We are having lovely cool mornings, I love the cool crisp air, but unfortunately by late afternoon we are back up in the 90's!!

I love fall too. It's my favorite time of year. Actually, I should qualify that and say I like it HERE in Colorado. I never liked it in Alaska, where you got "Oh look... the leaves have turned yellow and.... oh. They've all fallen down. And... oh my gosh, is it snowing now?!"

But here! The colors! The pumpkins! The spices! The football! The fantastic blog posts! :D

I have never heard of pumpkin cookies. I was going to make pumkin bread this weekend. I might have to give these a try instead. Thanks for the recipe. Fall is definetly here, we had three blankets on the bed last night!

The cookies look so good. I just might have to try this recipe. Tomorrow I'm doing some baking for a fundraiser so maybe I can try this recipe out. I love pumpkin everything! We are finally getting some cooler weather, especially at night. I ♥ it!

I've already been baking this week- and it's still in the upper 70's and fairly humid (as in, the AC is still running for sure) but next week promises highs around 59... so more baking will be instore!! Um, and knitting... I have mittens on the mind...

Thank you for sharing the recipe. I'm going to make these this week. I had a recipe last spring that was pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. My children loved them. Let me know if you'd like me to forward the recipe to you.

Don't you just love it? The best of seasons, definitely one for knitters. I am intrigued by the pumpkin cookies, you Americans are so adventurous with your baking, in fact, so adventurous with pumpkins, over here we rarely venture beyond carving them for lanterns. I have promised myself a pumpkin adventure next week...

Oh, these remind me of the ones I make, from Baggett's All American Cookie Book with cream cheese frosting. Even kids think they're spectacular! Hm... I'm off to see if I have a can of pumpkin around...
